How do they know how many people died so soon after a major disaster?

In Turkey and Syria now they’re saying 1,800 people died already. Is it as simple as counting the bodies and reporting that?

Initially, it is qualified guessing. Thw world has a lot of experiece with this, unfortunately.

But it is hugely inaccurate to begin with. Since you posted the number has risen from 1800 to above 11000.

Send any money you can spare to well-reputed internationally operating help agencies, so they can send aid, food and medicine to Turkey and Syria.
